Incident report

Hardly having time to “paws” Zak with handler, Nick Smith, was called out again to assist with a major search of Kinder Scout for a man and his teenage son. Nick and Zak were tasked to search Crowden Brook and had got all the way over the moor to Kinder Downfall before they were informed that the casualties had been located by another dog unit in Red Brook.
